Abstract
Background: Primary stability is an important prognostic factor for dental implant therapy. In the present study, we evaluate the relationship between implant stability evaluation findings by the use of an implant stability quotient (ISQ), an index for primary stability, and a morphological evaluation of bone by preoperative computed tomography (CT). Subjects and methods: We analyzed 98 patients who underwent implant placement surgery in this retrospective study. For all 247 implants, the correlations of the ISQ value with cortical bone thickness, cortical bone CT value, cancellous bone CT value, insertion torque value, implant diameter, and implant length were examined. Results: 1. Factors affecting ISQ values in all cases: It was revealed that there were significant associations between the cortical bone thickness and cancellous bone CT values with ISQ by multiple regression analysis. 2. It was revealed that there was a significant correlation between cortical bone thickness and cancellous bone CT values with ISQ by multiple regression analysis in the upper jaw. 3. It was indicated that there was a significant association between cortical bone thickness and implant diameter with ISQ by multiple regression analysis in the lower jaw. Conclusion: We concluded that analysis of the correlation of the ISQ value with cortical bone thickness and values obtained in preoperative CT imaging were useful preoperative evaluations for obtaining implant stability.
Highlights
Diagnostic imaging used to examine the morphology of bone at a planned dental implant site is very useful for implant therapy
Factors that showed a significant correlation with the implant stability quotient (ISQ) value in all subjects were cortical bone thickness, cortical bone computed tomography (CT) value, cancellous bone CT value, insertion torque value (ITV), and implant diameter and length
Multiple regression analysis, using the ISQ value as the objective variable, revealed that cortical bone thickness and cancellous bone CT value had a significant association with ISQ
